The COVID-19 pandemic has created massive issues around the world. To ensure that education continued during the crisis, educational institutions had to implement a variety of initiatives. This paper aims to examine the growth and country collaboration on social media (SM) research during the COVID-19 pandemic through a systematic review and investigate the impact of this body of work by citation and network analyses. The number of articles, keywords, and clusters of worldwide academic scholars working in the area was mapped using R studio and the VOS viewer tool. According to the study results, 519 articles have been retrieved from the Web of Science in the field of domain. The USA has produced the most publications, and Chen IH and Lin CY were the most prolific authors. Furthermore, the most studies on SM use in higher education were released in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. This research will help academic researchers, organizations, and policymakers to understand the ongoing research on SM during the last pandemic. It will help future academics analyze the evolution of social media technologies in higher education throughout the pandemic and identify areas for further study.

This study conducted a scientometric review on beta thalassemia research using HistCite, BibExcel, and VOS viewer from 2000 to 2019. A total of 10,002 articles were downloaded from the Web of Science core collection database. The study used several quantitative scientometric indicators to measure the performance of the global beta thalassemia research output. The purpose of this review study is to analyze and visualize the state-of-the-art on beta thalassemia in a systematic way. The research findings include research areas, types of documents, authors, journals, institutions, and countries, and how these are linked within the existing body of literature on beta thalassemia. The result reveals that organizations such as Mahidol University and the University of Athens have published numerous articles encouraged by specific R&D funding schemes and made a significant contribution to the development of beta thalassemia research.

The study investigated the use of electronic resources/information by library users in selected colleges of Solapur University. Specifically, to investigate the awareness and level of use of electronic resources; perceived reliance, benefits and impact of use of electronic resources on the research activities. The research design for the study was a survey. Questionnaire schedule was used to collect data from 1022 library users from selected colleges of Solapur University. The result revealed that preponderance of users from aided 33.51% Self financing 26.10% and Education colleges 43.24 % preferred to visit the Library once in three days. While analyzing the entire college libraries regarding the frequency of visit, users gave first preference to once in three days i.e. 27.2%. College wise analysis reveals that mainstream of users from Aided Colleges 38%, Self financing Colleges 28.3%, Engineering Colleges 43%, Education colleges 53.2% and Pharmacy Colleges 23.4% are spending their time 1-2 hrs in libraries and 40.8%visit college libraries to issue and return books and in the device usage (33.9%) of users ranked mobile phone as the second device for accessing the e-resources. It is noticeable that 24.7% of users acknowledge from Aided Colleges know about the services of the Library from website but in Self Finance Colleges 8.5% and Pharmacy College 56.4% users aware about the services from the friends it is observed that most of the web technologies are not used by the mainstream of the users due to lack of awareness, training etc.

This study aims to investigate the publication rate of Indian dialysis research and analyze the distribution of research areas. This research was a scientometric study that applied quantitative and qualitative bibliographies of Web of Science (WoS). The data were extracted from the Web of Science database between 2001 to 2020 of Indian dialysis research. We used bibliographic analyses using VOSviewer software for network analysis between 2001 to 2020. We performed analyses of journals, authors, publication years, organizations, and countries. We accessed 1503 documents published during the period, the majority of published in 2020 with 151 documents. The study revealed that Jha V is the most prolific author in this field with 100 papers and the highest h-index (25). Results showed that the most document types are journal Articles (1135) of a total number of publications. We observed from the journals, the most preferred choice of the authors to publish their research on Peritoneal Dialysis International (n = 77), whereas Indian Pediatrics (India) had the lowest articles (n = 14). The study also revealed that documents published a number of countries with limited relationship within the network, suggesting opportunities to build their research collaboration with leaders of significant networks or with other countries.

Robotics Technology is a fast growing field of research. Robotics is the branch of science that includes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science and others. Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. This paper assess the volume of research carried out by the scientists in world wide on robotic technology, their share of research to world literature in robotics, forms and language that they publish their results, quantum of their publications in terms of institutions involved in research in robotic technology, extent of international collaboration, etc. Data for this study was culled from the Web of Science. The period of study is from 1990 to 2016. Totally 3703 institutions resulted out the output of 5316 among them top 30 institutions’ output is noteworthy. The developing countries like USA, UK and Germany concentrate in the field of robotic technology. Yet Major portion of contribution (36.30%) is from USA. The journal articles are the key factors in sharing the research values among the researchers in the forms of articles which is amounted to be top (67.40%). The language preferred in exchanging research results is English (87.70%) followed by German. The prolific authors in the field of robotic technology are highly found from USA among them the contribution by Bloss R is appreciable. The citation counts seems to be high in the year 2015 which has recorded 11,000 citations.

The paper is based on analyses of 787 papers by 2862 authors collected in the Journal of Advances in Geosciences publications from DOAJ. This study targets the authorship pattern and applicability of Lotka's Law by counting the number of publications by each author, also applies the Chi-square test to test the hypothesis and finds the law still applicable to this research.
